Perinereis taorica Langerhans, 1881, is redescribed from specimens collected from the type locality (Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife). It is compared to P. cultrifera (Grube, 1840) and P. oliveirae (Horst, 1889) and clearly distinguished by the number, arrangement and size of paragnaths on the pharynx. The type material of this species deposited at the University of Freiberg (Germany) was lost in 1944 during the Second World War.
